Had you been lying all along? Mum gently stroked my hair. I whispered into her shoulder. “I can’t go back. Not yet.

It happened like this. I was stolen from an airport. Taken from everything I knew, everything I was used to. Taken to sand and heat, dirt and danger. And he expected me to love him. This is my story. A letter from nowhere.
